Let Your Spark Blaze


Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
- Soren Kierkegaard

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze
than it should be stifled by dry rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
- Jack London

Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.
- Henry Miller

As far as we can discern,
the sole purpose of human existence
is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
- Carl Jung

Not Merely to Exist

every atom of me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
